Quoted: No politics, yet they have "militiamen" murdering and torturing people on a whim or to settle old greivances. Militiamen=armed civilians=war crimes. No politics. Sure. View Quote You don’t believe that is exactly what goes on during a civil war? One of the first things that goes down is a settling of old scores. |

Journalists and the president aren't the real power so just a movie about the puppets.

But i'd bet money they don't show what kind of a terrible shit hole, killing ground the inner cities would also become.

Quoted: How they're going to get Texas AND California to both secede without injecting politics will be so stupid as it ruins The whole premise imo . View Quote View All Quotes View All Quotes Quoted: Quoted: If they can really pull that off without politics, it might be worth seeing. How they're going to get Texas AND California to both secede without injecting politics will be so stupid as it ruins The whole premise imo . I haven't seen it either, but I sort of suspect that's the point...pair up TX and CA so it's not an obvious red vs blue movie. Unbelievable? Sure, but it's not a documentary and as the current reviews are saying it's NOT about the politics. IMO it may be sort of a "press the I believe button" that FTL travel is real so we can get a cool sci-fi movie. We'll see. |

So, movie goers in Austin, Texas one of the most liberal areas in the entire nation thought it was awesome huh? Tells you a lot.
I'll wait to see what more centric and sane individuals like the Critical Drinker have to say on the film. |

Quoted: The review above actually specifically states there's fighting within the cities.

It's like you have extremely specific requirements for what is and is not included in a movie, and if it should deviate from that then it's a woke(?) mess. |

I hope that's all true. I'd enjoy a movie that didn't hammer political issues, but instead shows us where we are headed if each half of the country continues to see the other as an enemy.

Quoted: Exactly. And the bias is obvious View Quote Dunno. Seems like Bad President could also fit "our" concept of what Biden/Biden Replacement might do, if the mask slipped a bit more.

All I’m saying is that drone striking American citizens is a literal talking point of the left (“omg your AR-15 is useless against drones, just give it up bro”), so that’s at least one tally in the column for us.

So, journalists really like a movie made about them that celebrates what they do? LOL

Quoted: Fighting within the cities between clearly deliniated forces does not equal the breakdown of society within the cities and the rise of violent street gangs ala the current debacle in Haiti, or to an even worse extent than we experience post hurricane Katrina. Huge difference. View Quote Exactly, can you imagine the chaos that would take place almost immediately. If the film shows a clean break between two large conventional armies than that's going to be laughably oversimplified and unrealistic. It's like in the "Red Dawn" remake when the Wolverines can still get their foot long subs from the Subway restaurant within occupied territory held by North Korean forces. That sort of unrealistic crap takes me out of movies just too much. So, if there are people who can get gas from a gas station and electricity still powering the country it's just going to be silly. Also, what happenes to all of the foreign deployed military assets and our allies or for that matter our enemies around the world? If the USA ever went into such a catastrophy the whole damn world would quickly devolve into a Mad Max scenario at an astonishingly fast pace. Nearly every place on earth would end up like Haiti pretty quickly. The Fall of Rome would have nothing on us in terms of total chaos. What's the aftermath in the film look like? Is the McDonalds back open and everyone just hugging it out? If it was even close to reality the only end result would be a thousand years of chaos and darkness on par with the dark ages. That's really the message that needs to be driven home, U.S. domestic stability is the most important thing in the world and if our Republic falls everything falls with it. Nothing on earth is more vital and precious than the United States of America, which is why the elites who are running this nation into the ground are so monsterous. |

Your point is that it doesn't show war crimes in the cities (which you don't even know if it's true) therefore it's biased. Alright man. View Quote We have this thing we rely on when making judgement calls. It's called experience based on past performance. Knowing how hollywood has fucked up everything else in the past with very few exceptions, experience tells us this is a deceptive film that claims one thing while showing subtle biases that contradict their spoken word. I have been hurt before, therefore i don't need to get run over with a car to know it's also going to hurt. Anticipation of an outcome based on prior experience. Welcome to being a grown up. |

A movie based on a reporter's view of a modern civil war would be a very short movie. Maybe like a tictoc short clip.
